Weatherby is being kind. The second round I fell apart and he was shooting an ice pick. I am not sure if it was a Model 97 or a Model 12, but I think it was also a 16 gauge. what he doesen't say is that when he shot a round with the group of regulares following us, he got a 24.

As an aside, I finally got the big wooden handle for my MEC Sizemaster that you guys recommended and it is soooooo much easier.

High house 1 and low house 7 are the easiest stations to start and learn on.

The others are either quartering or directly crossing

If you want to play with a hard core skeet shooter, have him shoot international style - low gun and up to a three second delay - they'll kick you out and motion to the 5-stand and sporting clays fields for you to go to........

and then handicap eachother...
Avg ( 21 - 23 ) -- you get 1 bird
Avg ( 19-20 ) -- you get 2 birds
Avg ( 17-18 ) -- you get 3 birds..
Avg below 17 .../ you have to wear a sign on the back of your shooting vest..." I Suck at Skeet " ...

and with handicapps figured in now / over a 100 target day....loser pays $ 5 into a kitty ...for cold drinks afterwards.../ or lunch or whatever....give you something to "shoot" for ....and of course not to "wear" the sign...

and averages get re-calculated every 200 targets....so you don't get a disadvantage all day ..if you're improving...
